Devil Listening Lyrics by Alice Marie

Eat the Rude

2016

How many miles have you gone
With the Devil on your back my son
When this hunger aches in me?
I am alone but for the hoofbeat, I am still but for the heart
I am afraid but for everything I am in the dark
How do you breathe and not breathe him?
How do you keep from opening your eyes to stare back into his?
What do you hear if not his voice?
Where do you go to leave, my boy, when there's the Devil listening?
My boy, when there's the Devil listening?
My boy, when there's the Devil listening?
I heard a child's voice in the empty hall
And I remembered what you said
How you can love a monster, if at the very sight
You find all your nourishment
You find all your nourishment
You find all your nourishment
He asks me, "Doesn't it feel good?"
Be still my beating heart
He asks me, "Aren't we better?"
And I know that we are
He asks me, "Doesn't it feel good?"
Be still my beating heart
He asks me, "Aren't we better?"
And I know that we are
He asks me, "Aren't we better?"
And I know that we are
He asks me, "Aren't we better?"
And I know that we are
How do you breathe and not breathe him?
How do you keep from opening your eyes to stare back into his?
What do you hear if not his voice?
Where do you go to leave, my boy, when there's the Devil listening?
My boy, when there's the Devil listening?
My boy, when there's the Devil listening?
My boy, oh, there's the Devil listening
